Oring Hunter

"Actually, as early as four years ago, I have read the file background recorded when you entered school, so I know your origin and experience."

After hearing this, Ye Chen answered in a low voice, but he didn't seem surprised.

After all, the opponent is in a high position in "Extreme Hunting", so the authority in the hunting group must be extremely high. It is not surprising that he knows the details of him, an outsider from the Pure Land.

He Sheng continued to speak in a calm manner:

"The abyss took your family away, and you are obsessed with revenge on the abyss because of this, so you have been fighting for various commissions to hunt the abyss in the hunting group in the past few years, right?"

Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief, nodded in affirmation and said:

"Yes."

He Sheng's eyes were full of moonlight, as if he was recalling the past bit by bit, and then continued to tell Yechen:

"Really like..."

"Whether it's past encounters or current thoughts..."

"Yechen, you and I are really similar..."

After hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood the meaning of He Sheng's words, then raised his face, and looked at the face of the other party who seemed to be almost the same age as himself.

"He Sheng..."

He hesitated slightly, and then asked the senior his own question.

"Can I ask, what is your real age?"

"You've already asked."

He Sheng teased calmly, then looked at the sky with his arms in his arms, and answered Yechen's question slowly:

"Who knows? Anyway, it's a lot older than you."

Ye Chen didn't answer, but He Sheng immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and then sent his reminder with earnestness.

"If you continue to implement the concept of hunting the abyss, you will encounter more situations similar to today in the future."

"If you don't want to escape, go get used to it as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's pretty much what I said, let's stop this conversation, see you later, don't go too far."

As soon as the words fell, the dragon-body hunter turned and left, and walked slowly towards the distant bonfire, thus leaving a mysterious back with many stories hidden in front of the bloodsmith hunter.

Ye Chen slowly looked away, and then thought over He Sheng's words of advice in his mind.

Habit……

numbness……

Either way, it's hard...

After a long silence, the young man slowly raised the unburned heavenly eggplant in his hand, brought it to his mouth and took another deep breath, hoping to dilute his inner melancholy through the thick and mellow tobacco.

……

In the early morning of the next day, warm sunshine slowly rose from the other side of the horizon, announcing the official arrival of a new day in such a high-profile manner.

He Sheng once again turned into a giant dragon and flew up to the clouds, overlooking the filthy land that he flew out of last night from top to bottom.

Then, he found that the pitch-black color there had been diluted a lot, presumably it must have been sent away by the ever-changing natural landscape of the Austrian Labyrinth like ocean currents.

Therefore, this "Extreme Hunter" landed on the ground, returned to human form, and then planned to lead the Dawn team to explore the nearby wilderness to see if they could collect some extra rare materials in this labyrinthine landform to bring back the holy light pure land.

However, before He Sheng could officially tell the juniors about his arrangement, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared on the backs of the hands of everyone present without warning.

Chapter 0598 Low morale

The seven Olympian hunters looked down, and immediately found that the tattoos on the back of their hands had been filled with a strong and shining power of holy light.

Obviously, this is the activation signal of the "Seal of Transmission".

Everyone who immediately understood this in their hearts followed the guidance of this strange energy, and then slightly raised each other's arms towards the void in front of them.

In the next second, pure white and holy light flew out from between the skins of everyone, and immediately after that, a small "Gate of Holy Light" condensed in front of each hunter.

The dazzling door slowly opened, the hunters looked at each other, and then stepped into it one by one, thus ending this abyss crusade.

……

Hunter's Peak middle-level mission guild.

Saying a polite farewell to the dragon hunter who left alone, Yechen and the rest of the team members of the dawn team went to different mission report rooms, reported the situation of the mission to different hunting group personnel, and then conducted a polygraph test Deal with mental detection.

Since the hunter commission this time was related to the abyss, after that, Ye Chen and others accepted the investigation of the power of the abyss by the Church of the Holy Light.

After the church announced that their physical and mental conditions were no different, the Dawn team was able to officially complete the mission of "hunting the abyss and sealing the maze".

Waiting for the guild to carry out counting, accounting, and processing for only a few minutes, and soon, the six large black boxes with the same style, exquisite texture, and printed with the hunter's emblem as the payment for this task were distributed by the staff immediately. Arrived in front of the six members of the Xiaoxiao team.

Ye Chen unbuttoned the large, heavy black box in front of him, and immediately saw fifteen piles of neatly placed gold coins and a piece of pure white letter paper without any wrinkles.

The bloodsmith hunter stretched out his hand and opened the letter paper for a look.

[Bloodsmith hunter Yechen, the total reward you received for completing the mission this time is 250 gold coins. In view of your excellent performance during the mission, your hunter contribution has increased by 500 points. 】

Compared with the normal treatment of elite hunters, Yechen's mission rewards this time are undoubtedly among the top batch.

However, not only did his expression not look very happy, but even cast a faint haze.

As for the reason, it was due to the results of the mental state test and assessment that occurred at the time of the task settlement.

"Mr. Bloodsmith, your mental evaluation score this time is very unsatisfactory. The total score is 55 points, which is only 5 points away from the passing line. In this regard, the hunting group's opinion is to arrange for you to rest for three days, and then come for another round of testing , if the mental evaluation still does not improve significantly by then, you may have to temporarily leave the standby state..."

The above is the response given by the mental assessors to Ye Chen after completing the testing process.

He knew that his mental state was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so bad, so when he learned this fact, Ye Chen's expression was very unbelievable...

After receiving the task reward, he immediately returned to the business hall of the task union with a complicated mood, met with the teammates of the dawn team, and asked about their mental evaluation status.

After a short exchange, Yechen learned the evaluation scores of the rest of the people:

欧可85分、厄里加特83分、菲罗娜81分、希雅75分、韦蒙66分……

And after knowing the result of Yechen's mental evaluation in turn, the faces of the five teammates were more or less surprised.

After all, no one would have guessed that the captain, who seemed calm and calm on the surface, was now the one with the worst mental condition among everyone.

And Yechen himself was deeply helpless about this point, sighed slightly, and announced the reality to his companions:

"I will have another mental evaluation in three days. If I still fail to pass by then, I may have to leave the team temporarily..."

Ou Ke heard the words, and responded immediately, his tone sounded leisurely as usual.

"If the situation really becomes like that, our team will have to temporarily select a captain to replace you during the mission."

Ye Chen nodded his head, and then his eyes fell on Wei Meng's face.

"Yes, Waymon, when that time comes, you will be in charge of temporarily commanding the whole team for me."

Wei Meng's eyes flickered a few times, but he didn't tease or refuse Yechen as usual, but just nodded in agreement with a blank expression, as if he was listless.

"understood."

Seeing that Wei Meng's answer seemed so absent-minded, Shia quickly added to Yechen:

"We will take care of everything, so you can rest assured and try not to create unnecessary stress."

Ye Chen nodded his head again, but didn't say anything more.

"Ah."

Firona flicked her twin ponytails, and raised another topic with a hesitant expression.

"So... shall we have a mission celebration banquet today? Or wait until later?"

As a result, it was Wei Meng, who was usually the most loose and funny, who was the first to reject this proposal.

"No, forget it this time, I still feel very tired now, so I have to go home and have a rest now."

After saying this, Wei Meng walked straight towards the exit of the hall, leaving only a back view waving his hands, thus saying a hasty farewell to everyone.

"Sorry, I won't go this time either."

Shia bowed her head and apologized to everyone, and then quickly followed Wemon's pace, apparently worried about leaving him alone.

"..."

Yechen looked at the figures of the two leaving in a hurry, was silent for a moment, and then said with the rest of his teammates:

"Then let's disband first this time, and make up for the celebration banquet later."

Errigat nodded in agreement without comment.

"Well, everyone needs to have a good rest, and it's a good thing not to make trouble."

Ouke embraced Yechen's arm and said goodbye to Firona and Errigat with a smile.

"Then goodbye, see you some other day~"

After the words fell, she and Ye Chen also walked out the door and disappeared in front of the eyes of the remaining two.

"Well……"

Firona frowned and whispered, hugging her chest:

"Although I can understand the reason for everyone's frustration, the current morale is too low... Especially Yechen, Wei Meng, and Shia... I feel that their situation is very serious!"

Errigat breathed a sigh of relief, and then responded in a helpless tone:

"After all, only the three of them witnessed that scene with their own eyes. They must not feel very good in their hearts. It will definitely take a while to fully recover..."

Chapter 0599 Fantasy and Reality

"Sister, when will Mom and Dad come back? I miss them."

A three-year-old boy leaned against the window, stared blankly at the scenery of the village outside for a while, then turned his head and asked his sister in a vague voice.

"In order to make money for us to support our family, they are all busy working in other places now, so they won't be able to come back for a while."

While picking up the sweater and needlework in her hand, Wen Li answered her brother's questions in a flat tone.

Although she is just over nine years old, the poor family background has made this girl understand the difficulties of life early on. Since there are only two family members in the family, Wen Li often has to help the family share the burden. pressure.

Life in the countryside is boring and tiring, far from what a child of her age should bear.

However, Wen Li, who has a strong character, still worked hard to persevere during the year when her parents were away, so that she even helped her grandfather take care of her younger brother.

It's just because she has always yearned for the future, and believes that when her parents earn enough money and her younger brother grows up, she will have the opportunity to go to the big city, enjoy all kinds of exquisite food freely, and wear all kinds of gorgeous skirts freely... …

I couldn't help imagining this beautiful situation in my mind. Unlike her younger brother Wenger who was full of disappointment, a innocent smile appeared on Wen Li's immature face.

However, in the next second, the rural scene outside the window suddenly darkened without warning.

Immediately afterwards, the whole world began to shake violently.

Among the crazily shaking houses, the terrified Wenger began to cry, while Wen Li thought that there was an earthquake in the village after being frightened, and immediately took her younger brother to hide under the wooden table.

I don't know how long it took before the vibration stopped slowly.

Wen Li led Wenger to open the window, looking through the village streets full of horrified villagers, and then found that outside the village, the green fields of the past could no longer be seen, but was surrounded by a patch of unknown origin and pitch-black swamp. replaced by rugged mountains.

At the same time, something strange was mixed in the air, which made both Wen Li and Wenger feel tight in their chests and out of breath.

What exactly is going on?

Wen Li stared blankly at the scene outside the window, feeling her mind go blank for a moment.

After finally regaining consciousness, she immediately remembered that her grandfather had just left the village not long ago, and he must be picking vegetables in the mountains now, so she quickly dragged her younger brother out of the house, trying to find her grandfather.

However, the moment Wen Li pushed open the door, a cloud of pitch-black mud rushed in through the crack of the open door as if it had been waiting for a long time.

In the next moment, Wen Li couldn't see the opponent's speed clearly, she just felt that the strange thing split into two groups in an instant, hitting her and her younger brother respectively.

"what!?"

However, after the screams, the black mud disappeared. Wen Li and Wenger looked down, and there was nothing left in their bodies.

Feeling in the fog about what happened, the siblings ran out of the house hand in hand, and then gathered with the villagers in the square.
